Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

No.

The triangle inequality theorem says that ANY two sides of a triangle MUST be greater than the third side.

In this case 3+6 is equivalent to 9 (it wouldn't be a triangle; just be a straight line), NOT greater, therefore is is not possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths.
